"Izzis awl?" gapes Joe, regarding the one supply truck parked in the snow. "T'is is awl'at got t'ru???" "I huhd they's fahghtin' hawrd in Stras'bu'g," shrugs the Corporal, fumbling with cold-numbed hands to unlatch the tailgate. "Cain' mucha nuth'n get thru. Git on up theh now, an' stawrt passin'um down." Joe clambers into the back ot he truck, and squints into the darkness. "Uh oh," he calls out. "Whuss uh-oh?" demands the Corporal. "Ain' nut'n in'eeh," sighs Joe, "but mess kits. Nut'n t'put 'innm, jus' mess kits." "Gawdayum," sighs the Corporal, expectorating into the snow.

An iron piece from a broken truck bumper stood as the only clue as to the mystery of who ransacked the tomb of Monsignior James J. Coan at St. Mary's Cemetery in South Amboy, New Jersey on New Years' Night. The Middlesex County Sherrif's Department is canvassing the entire county in attempt to locate a truck with a broken bumper, and has requested that police in Brooklyn mount a similar search.
